VCU ASD Career Links

VCU ASD Career Links is a collaborative initiative between VCU and the Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services (DRS). The primary target population for this research is individuals with ASD, with an emphasis on youth and young adults. Our project is working collaboratively with four local school districts in the Richmond area and the Faison School for Autism, who will enroll youth with ASD into the project. The project is also working with colleges and universities throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.
